It's been a while since I've done one so eh, why not.
Ash Bowers- "Shake It Off"
Some clever lines, good hook, solid guitar driven production. It works for me. On a side note, this guy really should be bigger.
Grade: B+

Craig Morgan- "Wake Up Lovin' You"
I really want to like this more than I do. The verses are fantastic in every Way, production, vocals, melody, lyrically. But that shouted "chorus". Ugh. I hate it. Other than that, Morgan's best in ages.
Grade: B

Florida Georgia Line- "Stay"
I've seen criticism of the lyrics for this one, but there's something I find raw and real about them. I dig a suckup breakup song as much as anyone, but in the heat of the moment, who actually has time to plan that out? They're going to get emotional and say stupid things. I also love the banjo intro

Jason Aldean- "When She Says Baby"
Far from the best song on the album. 100% fluff. But as far as fluff goes, this is pretty damn enjoyable.

Jake Owen- "Beachin"
This is a slowed down "Days Of Gold" really. Which sucks because what I liked about "Days Of Gold" was the rapid fire delivery. This is just grating. The good news? "Ghost Town" is likely the next single. But as far as this goes, it's one of the weakest on the album.
Grade: C-
